Mentally I feel fine- not depressed or anxious. I felt this flu like when I switched from imipramine to prozac a number of years ago. What do you mean the switch shouldn't matter?** sorry if not clear...I meant that switching from celexa to Lexapro should be fine (no wash out period needed)...there are studies that show switching from prozac (long half life) to Celexa without a washout worked well, and The DR's I've seen have been saying they see the same with the patients they've switched from various AD's to Lexapro. Glad to hear it's working..im not sure the "flu" symptom is from the Lexapro, but if it is I'm sure it will pass with a little time. Good luck and keep us posted
